Well, according to the specialist, it looks like I dodged a bullet today. After I found out my aldolase level was elevated and my ck in the lower range, I got confused any even more worried.I also had another spell of feeling weak in my arms and legs. I convinced myself that I had lost muscle in all limbs. The fact is, I really think I have strictly because I have not done anything physical hardly at all in the past 6 or 7 weeks. I got an A+ on a full clinical exam and EMG (2nd in 6 weeks). I asked her if she was 99% sure I didnt have ***, she said " No, I'm 99.99% sure". I couldnt have asked for better odds than that. I did end up losing 17 lbs from pure stress, not eating and maybe the calories burnt from twitching over the last 45 days. She didnt use the term bfs, but said the symptoms were benign. It is hard to believe the diagnosis because of how weird and strong all the twitching and churning and pulses going on were, and still are, but I have to believe it now. My wife and sister told me they dont want to hear anymore negative talk from here on. Back surgey has been scheduled for 11-02-09. Hopefully that has been the root cause to all of this. I am so relieved I dont have to break any horrible news to my 11 year old daughter. That has been my worst fear the entire time. P.S. The specialist made the comment "The mind is very powerful, it can cause the body to do a whole lot of unexplained things" If thats the case, it only makes sense that it can be powerful in a productive and healing manner also. Now I just need to believe that. Thanks for eveyones support.
